Essay: Imagine that you are struggling to learn a concept in math. Provide brief descriptions of how you would address the first two components of self-regulation to work towards improving your learning.
Student Answer: First, I'd set a clear goal for myself-something like, "I want to understand how to solve quadratic equations by the end of the week." Then, I'd break it down into smaller steps, like watching a tutorial video, doing a set number of practice problems each day, and making sure I'm reviewing everything I've done to see where I'm messing up. While I'm working through it, I'd keep track of how I'm doing. I might make a checklist to mark off tasks or jot down where I'm getting stuck. If I notice I'm not making much progress, I'd stop and figure out if I need to change my approach-maybe watch a different video or go back and review some easier stuff first. This way, I'm staying on track and can adjust if I need to.
